Re: What eyeshadow palette do you regret purchasing?

UD Basics palette- I like foxy, but it's in another palette. I recently depoted all the naked palettes into a z-palette, so hopefully I'll use it more. I like matte, but don't do a whole look with matte.

Ariel Palette- Thanks to BT I fell into the Disney craze & ordered it as soon as it became available. I haven't even used it yet in case I decide to give to my cousin or someone. From swatches, the shades don't look all that amazing. I have a bunch of mac pro pans I have in a palette with all sorts of shades. I heard the quality of the Disney shadows aren't all that great. So I really don't know why I got it.

UD Vice (the first one)- I love it, I love the colors, and quality. Some have a bit of fall out, but it's still easy to work with. The shades themselves don't all work well together. I just don't use it enough to really play & figure out what works. It's not that I don't like it, but I reach fro my mac colors or naked palettes more to really get used to it.

UD Glinda Palette. Colors are pretty but have so much trouble using them together to make a cohesive look. It's not a one palette look which I don't like. Giving it to my mom as she's a bigger UD junkie than me but only has the other witch palette.

UD Ammo Palette. I got the new reformulated one. I got it around this time last year when I started getting really into make up. My mom and best friend had it before (old formula) and it looked so cool. I much prefer my other palettes by UD and I like more colored shadows from bareMinerals (ready formula).

The Tarte Holiday Palette. It's colors are very pretty but they are chalky, maybe this is due to the clay they use to formulate it, not really sure. I have tried to love it, but honestly i think it is getting sanitized and put in a TSB. I loved everything else that came in the set, just not a huge fan of their shadows. I have tried it wet/dry everything in between and for me its just not great but the colors are pretty to look at!

Re: What eyeshadow palette do you regret purchasing?

I read this earlier and posted the palette I didn't like was Lorac Unzipped, as almost all the colors looked the same on me.

I noticed a lot of people posting about fallout on the Lorac Pro palette, which I thought was strange as I have had it a while and hadn't noticed that. Then today I went to use it and....fallout! However, I was using a newer brush set that picks up a lot of product, my previous brushes didn't do the same thing. I will go back to them when I use Lorac Pro. I found that discovery quite fascinating, thought maybe mentioning it might help some people use this really nice palette more easily.

Re: What eyeshadow palette do you regret purchasing?

I have an older Smashbox brush set, I would call it mildly stiff and medium softness. Dense bristles. It's actually an ok set but I started really getting into blending and I didn't feel that the brushes let me do that well, so I started researching other brushes and trying a few.

The ones that have the fallout (but work great for Stila or UD shadows) are a little Sonia Kashuk set I got, super soft bristles, smaller brush head, not stiff, it loads up with product very well.

So, not an expert or anything but maybe the Lorac shadows are rather soft? They have tremendous staying power once on, and Pewter and Garnet are two of my favorite shadows. No biggie, I'll just go back to using the Smashbox brushes.
